Carole Wood's onion bhaji bites - a family favourite - are among a range of exotic flavours that also include chilli and chocolate, crispy duck and hoi sin sauce and even Cajun squirrel that will be unleashed on the public today.
In the end, spoiled for choice, I ordered mixed vegetables in satay sauce, while my other half went for a chicken and sweetcorn soup followed by aromatic duck, which came with pancakes, shredded vegetables and hoi sin sauce.
So I suppose for my last supper I would definitely go for Chinese, especially for my starter for which I'd have aromatic crispy duck with pancakes and hoi sin sauce and strips of cucumber, but no spring onion as I'm allergic to it.
